From what I've gathered on the subject from various searches: Silver will cross the blood brain barrier. [ Has been found in the brains of autopsied cadavers but not mentioned as a 'cause' of anything]
Silver has an affinity for damaged brain and nerve cells [is used in a staining process to highlight damaged areas] ..which doesn't mean that the silver 'caused' the damage. It may have, in fact, repaired or neutralized the damaged areas and any loss of function, a matter of some other cause 'highlighted' by a silver deposit. It's a phenomenon that could easily be misinterpreted. The plaques of Alzheimer's disease are seen here with a silver stain. Such plaques are most numerous in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. This dementia is marked mainly by progressive memory loss. http://medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/CNSHTML/CNS091.html # Cerebrum, Alzheimer's disease, plaque, microscopic, Bielschowsky silver stain # Cerebrum, Alzheimer's disease, tangle, microscopic, H&E stain # Cerebrum, Alzheimer's disease, tangle, microscopic, Bielschowsky silver stain This study combined a 3-dimensional imaging program with a cupric silver stain for neuronal degeneration in order to determine the location and extent of a focal lesion produced by MK-801 (dizocilpine maleate) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_ui ds=10668993&dopt=Abstract Ode At 10:35 AM 3/16/2004 -0500, you wrote: >My experiments indicate that a gold silver alloy will form a colloid.
